Telescopic Handler Inspection
Telescopic handlers, often referred to as telehandlers, play a critical role across various industries, including construction, agriculture, and industrial operations. Their ability to lift, move, and position loads with precision makes them an invaluable asset. However, to maintain safety and comply with legal requirements, it is vital to conduct regular inspections and LOLER assessments for these machines. Neglecting these obligations can lead to significant risks, including accidents, equipment failure, and legal penalties.
​
Based in the East Midlands, we specialise in statutory inspections for an extensive range of lifting equipment, including telescopic handlers. Our comprehensive services ensure that your telehandlers meet the requirements set out under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), helping you maintain safety and compliance.
What is a Telescopic Handler Inspection?
A telescopic handler inspection involves a detailed examination of your telehandler to confirm its safety, functionality, and adherence to LOLER standards. During this process, we assess the structural integrity of the equipment, examining components such as the boom and chassis for cracks, deformation, or wear. We also inspect the hydraulic systems, checking for any leaks, damage, or compromised seals that could affect performance.
In addition to the mechanical and structural checks, our inspections focus on the lifting components, ensuring that forks, attachments, and chains are in good condition. Operational functionality is also evaluated, with thorough tests on the controls, safety systems, and load indicators to confirm everything is operating as intended. By conducting these inspections, we help ensure that your telehandler is both safe and efficient, minimising risks and potential downtime.
Understanding LOLER Assessments for Telescopic Handlers
A LOLER assessment is a statutory requirement for any business operating lifting equipment, including telehandlers. This assessment involves a thorough examination to verify that your telehandler is strong, stable, and capable of safely managing the loads it is tasked with lifting. It also ensures that the equipment has been properly maintained and is in a condition suitable for ongoing use.
Under LOLER regulations, it is mandatory to conduct a thorough examination of telehandlers at least once every 12 months. If the telehandler is used for lifting personnel, this frequency increases to every six months. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to severe consequences, including legal action and financial penalties. By scheduling regular LOLER assessments with Pulo Compliance, you can rest assured that your equipment meets all regulatory standards, protecting both your business and your workforce.
